Speaker 1: the minds of Americans, and his home ownership just further

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: out of reach. President Trump pushing a bold new idea

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: to bring monthly payments down, but not everyone is on board.

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: We'll have that today and then later. The Deparment of

Speaker 1: twenty nine year old raman Ullah, the Afghan national accuser

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: shooting two National Guard troops last week not far from

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the White House, has now been formally charged with a

37
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: list of crimes. Prosecutors have filed counstants, including assault with

38
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: intent to kill, murder and firearms charges, as well locking

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: wall appearing before a judge remotely from a hospital be

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: entered a not guilty plea through his defense attorney. The

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: judge in the case ordered him held without bond, and

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: US Attorney Janine Piro made it clear that nothing is

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: off the table as the invasion continues. Sarah Beckstrom sadly

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: died from her injury. She was just twenty years old.

45
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Wolfe remaining in critical condition but has reported some

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: positive signs. We pray for him. Jemy to discuss this

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: as the senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Hans

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: von Spokowski. Han's nice to see you today, stir.

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: All right. So you've got a guy in the country.

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: He's an Afghan national. He's here legally apparently, but came

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: in with this wave of Afghans in the reckless evacuation

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: of Afghanistan in twenty twenty one. Here he is, and

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: he sets his sights on the National Guard, members of

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: our military, two of them that were unarmed. By the way,

56
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: that's a discussion that we'll have as well. Why would

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: that be? But write the case down for us seems

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: pretty cut and dry to me, Hans oh I.

59
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: Think it is.

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: They levied four different charges against him, first degree murder,

61
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 4: while armed, assault with the intent to kill while armed,

62
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: and then two possession of a weapon while committing a

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: crime of violence. Those penalties, the penalties for those charges,

64
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: particularly the first degree murder charge, is the death penalty.

65
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 4: That is a potential crime. There are about sixty violations

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: of federal law that can subject you to the death penalty,

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: and included in the charges that they made against him,

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: they can go for the death penalty. Frankly, my personal

69
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: opinion is they ought to.

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about that a little bit. This

71
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: is a heinous crime. He drove all way from the

72
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: state of Washington with the intent of doing great harm

73
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: to these people on the streets that are doing their job.

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: And look, I'm in Washington right now, and there's been

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: a dramatic change here, Hans. You're here all the time.

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: Ever since the eleventh of August, there have been twenty

77
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: four homicides one hundred and ten days. If you equate

78
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: that out to a year, there'll be eighty murders a year.

79
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: That would be the lowest rate in forty years. Car

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: jacks right down seventy five percent, sexual assault down thirty

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: five percent. I mean, the impact has been dramatic and positive.

82
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: So why all the pushback from Democrats and the left

83
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: saying this is terrible. We have troops in our streets.

84
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: When I see them out on the streets, hons, you

85
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: see the same thing. They're standing around, they're talking to people,

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: they're having a laugh. You know, they're enjoying themselves, and

87
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: they're not scary. They're just people in uniform. Why are

88
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: the Democrats pushing back so hard?

89
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: Well, look, there's two reasons for this.

90
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: One because they suffer from you know, Trump derangement syndrome.

91
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: I mean, anything that Trump.

92
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: Comes out of, no matter how positive it is, they're

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: against it. But also it's because unfortunately, a very long

94
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: term position of the Democratic Party is hostility to law

95
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: enforcement and hostility to the military. They just can't get

96
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 4: over that, and in fact, they've gotten worse over the

97
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: years as the Democratic Party has gone further and further

98
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: to the left. It's that hostility that makes them against

99
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 4: anything that would actually bring a greater public safety to DC.

100
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. The people that at least afforded

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: in d C or Chicago or Los Angeles are those

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: in lower economic neighborhoods. They can't defend themselves they're on

103
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: a fixed income, they don't have the option to get

104
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: a U haul and get out of town. They're there,

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: and you've got this violence. I just looked up the

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: stats for Chicago. Almost two thousand people shot this year

107
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: in Chicago, more than four hundred have been murdered. And

108
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: yet the mayor there, Brandon Johnson, and the governors gave

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Pritzker say they don't want these troops in their streets.

110
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: How about we ask the people, Hans. I think I

111
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: know what they would say, because I've talked to people

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: here in DC. I talked to the uber drivers, I

113
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: talked to the people on the street. I'm sure you

114
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: do as well. They like it because crime is down.

115
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: They feel like you can safely walk down their street

116
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: for the first time in years, many of them. Why

117
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: wouldn't everybody want this?

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 4: Look you talk about Chicago, I mean Chicago, I think

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 4: is the murder capital of the United States. And it

120
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: is very important point you made. The individuals who are

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: victimized the most by the crimes that occur in places

122
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: like DC and Chicago, people who live in poor urban neighborhoods.

123
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: That's where the crime rates are the highest. So the

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: people who Democrats claim are supposedly their constituents. They're the

125
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: ones they're hurting the most. It's not the limousine liberals

126
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: who live in tall buildings in New York and elsewhere

127
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: that have their own security and gatekeepers and others to

128
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 4: protect them. It is the poor folks in urban neighborhoods,

129
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 4: many of them minorities, many of them black. They're the

130
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 4: ones that are victimized by this anti.

131
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: Democrats. No, we'll get yeah, there you have it, and

132
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: you look at what happened in New York City. Daniel

133
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Penny is the guy that's targeted and attacked by Democrats,

134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: not the criminals on the subway train, the guy that's

135
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: trying to protect the people from an obvious threat on

136
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: the train, and the Democrats cheerlead him all the way

137
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: to his acquittal. It's it's while they wanted him convicted.

138
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: It's like they're thinking is completely backwards to me.

139
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: Well, it is.

140
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: And that's also because the prosecutor there, Alvin Bragg, is

141
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: one of those Soros supported rogue prosecutors. Remember when he

142
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: came into office, he made it clear that the majority

143
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: of felonies committed in the city he wasn't going to prosecute.

144
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: He was going to reduce them to misdemeanors. Even when

145
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 4: they go after them and most misdemeanors, they won't do

146
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: anything about it, which is why hot crime rates have

147
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: soared in the city. That's due to the prosecutor in

148
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: that city. It's not law enforcement. It's not the police

149
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: officers they arrest folks. The problem is than what prosecutors

150
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: do with those cases.

151
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: And the same time, you've got mobs attacking those that

152
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: want to deport illegal aliens, criminals in our country, people

153
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: that are murderers, rapists, drug dealers. It's bizarre. I want

154
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: to shift gear with you, per minuted Hans because Democrats

155
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: are also slamming Secretary of War Pete Hegseff for the

156
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: attack and suspected drug boats in the Caribbean in Eastern Pacific,

157
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: calling hag Sef a warmonger and worse, a war criminal.

158
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: They say these strikes are illegal. Let me ask you,

159
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: are these strikes against boats that are delivering poison to

160
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: the shores of the United States, whether it's fentanyl, cocaine,

161
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. What do you make of the strikes?

162
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: What about the legality of taking out these drug runners.

163
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: Well, you notice that the critics have incited any US

164
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: laws that they claim that the president has violated by

165
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: doing this. That's because presidents have great deal of authority

166
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: outside of the country when it comes to national security.

167
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: That's why, for example, Barack Obama has never been prosecuted

168
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: or or called a war criminal by Democrats because he

169
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: was ordering strikes on jihadis and terrorists, including if you'll

170
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: recall sometimes American citizens who had joined the jihadist movement,

171
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: and you didn't never heard any complaints about that, did you.

172
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: No, he killed three Americans, one that was sixteen years

173
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: of age, in drone strikes, more than five hundred. In fact,

174
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: on his third day in office, he ordered drone strikes

175
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: that included civilians. Hans right, I don't remember these Democrats

176
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: talking about that. And then you look at Mark Kelly,

177
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: alyssa slockin two Senators, Mark Kelly being a veteran, and

178
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: I've heard from so many veterans since that tape came

179
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: out of them saying do not follow illegal orders. Of course,

180
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: they have no examples to offer, right, But the veterans

181
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: and the people in the military that I talked to

182
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: are outraged by these tapes because it underminds a chain

183
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: of command, It underminds the commander achieve, it underminds the

184
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: confidence not just in the military leadership, but in the

185
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: general public. And I think that's the intent of these tapes.

186
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, I agree.

187
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 4: And Kelly knows better because he knows that military personnel,

188
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: including at the lowest level of the military, are.

189
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: Given intensive training training.

190
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 4: To tell them that they do not have to obey

191
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 4: illegal order. So it's not as if this is happening.

192
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: And as you pointed out, and this is very important,

193
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: they couldn't point to a single order given.

194
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: By the president that was somehow an unlawful order.

195
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now there are some calls for Mark Kelly to

196
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: be recalled to the military, which when you sign on

197
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: the dotted line, you agree to being in the military

198
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: for life. They can recall you at any time. There's

199
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: a call to bring him back and put him up

200
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: for court martial. What are your thoughts on that.

201
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: Well, look, I'm not an expert on the Code of

202
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: Military justice. The military does have the ability to recall individuals,

203
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: whether they're members of Congress or not. Whether that's a

204
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 4: smart political move here that I can't answer.

205
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: And I don't know what a court martial.

206
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 4: Would think of what he said under the Code of

207
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 4: Military Justice, and whether it would apply or not. I mean,

208
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: the best thing that could happen is for Kelly and

209
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 4: the other members of Congress to apologize, withdraw this video

210
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: and admit that they made a mistake and they shouldn't

211
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 4: have done that. He's just been doubling down and insisting

212
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 4: that he did nothing wrong, and that in itself is wrong.

213
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: I agree with that. But the war on law enforcement,

214
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: the war on the military, this narrative and sometimes the

215
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: shooting wars we saw here on the streets of DC recently,

216
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: has been going on for some time. I recall vividly

217
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: five Dallas police officers gunned down during the Black Lives

218
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: Matter protest, murdered in the streets of Dallas, and people

219
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: forget about that. I don't forget about that, Hans. The

220
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: police officers have been the target. The military is the target.

221
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: And every time people make reckless comments like these, real

222
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: American heroes, frontline heroes, become the victims, don't.

223
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: They Well, they do. And in fact, it's that kind

224
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,119
Speaker 4: of language, it's that kind of hatred of law enforcement

225
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 4: in the military, that's being taught all over the country

226
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 4: in academia, in the media, and elsewhere, and unfortunately that

227
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: inspires some individuals to commit crimes, like this individual from

228
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: Afghanistan who was radicalized in the US and attacked these

229
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 4: National guardsmen in DC.

230
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: And before I leave that, Hans, just from your own

231
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: personal point of view, it's that a turning point because

232
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: to me, I saw a lot of people that may

233
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: have otherwise been inclined to lean left and saw these

234
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: two young people shot down in the streets of DC.

235
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: I feel like it was a turning point in the conversation,

236
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: one that has people on the left questioning what they're

237
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: actually supporting. I'll give you the last word.

238
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 4: Oh, I think that is true. It should have happened

239
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: when two Israeli diplomats, the young couple were shot right outside.

240
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: Of a museum in DC. That didn't happen.

241
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: Hopefully what happened with these a tragedy of these two

242
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 4: National guardsmen will finally turn off the left dispigot of hate.

243
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hans von Spakovsky, I always appreciate you being here, sir,

244
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for having me all right, coming up

245
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: after the break, I'm going to bring on David ZR.

246
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: From the Pentagon. I was there a couple of days ago.

247
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: They give us updates on the conflict with Venezuela as

248
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: well as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Is

249
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: peace at hand? Love details straight ahead on America's Voice Live.

250
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the program. Now over at the Pentagon.

251
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: We've got David Zier and Benny ray Harmony on standby

252
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: for me today because we've got a lot of breaking news. David, Benny,

253
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Glad to have you. I want

254
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: to get right into it. David. You telling me you

255
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: were just handed something from one of the folks there

256
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: on signal gate. Let's start with that.

257
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 5: What do you have, Yeah, regarding the Inspector General a

258
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: review for a signal gate here which has been out

259
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 5: in the news. But this is how to off the

260
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: press from the Pentagon to us. The Inspector General review

261
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: is a total exoneration of Secretary Hegseth and proves what

262
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: we knew all along. According to the Pentagon spokesman, the

263
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: Chief Spokesman, Sean Parnell, no classified information was shared. This

264
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 5: matter is result and the case is closed. We just

265
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: got this about ten minutes ago.

266
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: David, Let's talk about that just for a minute longer,

267
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: because it's become quite clear the government shutdown was a

268
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: failure for the Democrats and their narrative, the attacks about

269
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: Epstein release of files they've been released, that's been a

270
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: big zero. They've turned their focus to these drug votes

271
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: and Pete Hegseth. They want him. They've been targeting him

272
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: since day one. He seems to be a target now

273
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: exonerated in what you've just gotten. But make no mistake,

274
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: the left wants Pete Hegseth. They want him pushed out,

275
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: don't they.

276
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no doubt about that. But they've been very

277
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: clear here doing interviews all day on the ground for

278
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 5: the new media here that no rules were violated, no

279
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 5: international laws were violated with that second strike that the

280
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: Admiral ordered in the Caribbean, and that they followed a

281
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 5: protocol and they want the commanders to be able to

282
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: do what they need to do the field without you know,

283
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: politics involved in it. And they're steadfast on that that

284
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 5: there was nothing wrong with that.

285
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm going to come back to that in a minute,

286
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: but first I want to get to Benny Ray here

287
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: because we're following the Defense Appropriations bill. It's on the clock, Benny,

288
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: they've got a certain amount of weeks. The times was

289
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: running tight. You've got an update for us? What do

290
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: you have?

291
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Steve, this is a huge topic right now

292
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 6: because we are nearing that end of January deadline that

293
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 6: every American is looking towards right now. Now, there's about

294
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 6: five more appropriations bills now for people that don't know

295
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 6: what that means, those are the spending bills for the

296
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 6: different departments of the US government. And so we talked

297
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 6: to Dane Hughes just a few minutes ago, actually you

298
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 6: just did, and he spoke about this bill and what

299
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 6: they're looking to do to get this passed. It was

300
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 6: passed by the by the House, they passed this funding bill,

301
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 6: but it got turned down in the Senate. Now they

302
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 6: only have till the end of January to get this

303
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 6: put in. So the policy people here at the Pentagon

304
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 6: are working hard to work with Congress and to ensure

305
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 6: they can get this pass so our government and our

306
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 6: defense is funded. It's an eight hundred billion dollar funding bill, yes.

307
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: Eight hundred billion dollars. And here's the challenge that we

308
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: face here I'm sorry, David. The challenge we face here

309
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: is we've got that deadline of January because the government

310
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: shutdown was ended, but only through January temporarily, and so

311
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: we could face that again and again. You'd see military

312
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: people not being paid, you'd see funding problems across government. David,

313
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: pick up your thought right there. Well.

314
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 5: I spoke to the Controller for the Department of War

315
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: here and other staff here, including the Legislative Liaison here

316
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 5: for Secretary of Hegseth with Congress and others have expressed

317
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 5: that operations were interrupted by the shutdown. They kept it together,

318
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: but not having this resolved is a problem going forward.

319
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: They need to do it all right, So there at

320
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: the Pentagon, but many I want to ask you this.

321
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: The converse here, as you well know, has been about

322
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: Senator Mark Kelly, Senator Alyssa Slocking for other members of Congress,

323
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: all Democrats, coming out here several days ago now with

324
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: a video saying do not follow illegal orders, saying that

325
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: to active military personnel. Although they could cite no illegal

326
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: orders being given by the President or by Pete hag Seth,

327
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: they rolled out that video and have been heavily criticized

328
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: since by some unapplauded by others. What is the feeling

329
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: there on the ground about what we call the seditious six.

330
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 6: Well, every person that we've talked to, every military leader

331
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 6: here today has said the same thing, right, David. They

332
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 6: have said that there was nothing done wrong here and

333
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: that Secretary hag Seth and this administration didn't do anything wrong.

334
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 6: And I want to I want to give it over

335
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 6: to David for this, because you had this conversation with

336
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 6: multiple of these leaders talking about Mark Kelly and the six.

337
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 6: What were some of those things that you heard from

338
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 6: them when you spoke to them.

339
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 5: Well, as far as you know, Mark Kelly goes and

340
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: what they did, you know, was not only questionable, and they,

341
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 5: you know, they ride the line, they ride the threshold

342
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 5: of what can be considered sedition or you know, court

343
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 5: martialed for. But they definitely may have instigated and it's

344
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 5: yet to be told. Right, So, what happens if four

345
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 5: months from now or six months from now, somebody disobeys

346
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 5: in order because of what they did. So we haven't

347
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 5: seen repercussions from it yet per se, but what if somebody,

348
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 5: you know, what if there's a death of US servicemen

349
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 5: in the field. Because of that, then they really need

350
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 5: to be held accountable, Steve, and I think that's a

351
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 5: general consensus here.

352
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, but we can't confirm that they are looking into this.

353
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, last question, real quickly, Benny, I'll start with you.

354
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: Ukraine Russia. It seems that the strides have been made

355
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: in bringing peace. To that reason, President Trump pushing hard

356
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: for a twenty eight point piece deal. It was initially

357
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: accepted by Zolensky and Ukraine putting so far, I'm not

358
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: sure if we have an answer, but any updates on

359
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: that front.

360
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 5: We don't have any updates on that in here today

361
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 5: a new media week. We're meeting with staff in the

362
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 5: Pentagon Department, heads under secretaries all day. Ukraine came up

363
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 5: a little bit today, Steve, I don't have the latest

364
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 5: for you on that outside of the of US hearing

365
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 5: rumblings that this peace deal may have some traction and

366
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 5: that Wit Cough and Jared Kushner I may have had

367
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: some success in that realm. But we'll bring you further

368
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 5: updates as we get them, all.

369
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: Right, David Zeir Benny Ray Harmony greatly appreciate you both

398
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: right after the break. As home ownership drifts further out

399
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: of reach for some, President Trump is pushing a bold

400
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: idea to bring monthly payments down, but not everyone's on board.

401
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: Details up next. You know, buying a home is something

402
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: that most Americans want to do at some point in

403
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: their lives, But the average first time home buyer is

404
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: now thirty nine years of age. I was nineteen. Think

405
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: about that over the years, ago has become much harder

406
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: to accomplish. President Trump's bid to address this concern had

407
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: to do with a proposal of fifty year mortgages to

408
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: bring down monthly payments, an idea that's garnered attention, with

409
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: one camp embracing it others saying that's a terrible idea

410
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: and torching it. Of course, the interest rates are a

411
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: factor in this equation, as the inflation number is seen

412
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: during Joe Biden's term drove us to this point. Furthermore,

413
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: the overall supply of houses in America is not big enough.

414
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: We're about three or four million home short at this point.

415
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: Doing not to discuss. As the senior director of Government

416
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: Affairs at the National Taxpayers Union, Tommy Iyello, hold on

417
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: one second, we're going to go to Donald Trump live

418
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: right now in the Oval Office here.

419
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 7: You are important.

420
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 8: Today, my administration has taken a stork action to lower

421
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 8: costs for American consumers, protect American auto jobs, and make

422
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 8: buying a car much more affordable for countless.

423
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 7: American families and also safer.

424
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 8: We're officially terminating Joe Biden's ridiculously burdens some horrible actually

425
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 8: cafe standards that imposed expensive restrictions and all sorts of problems,

426
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 8: gave all sorts of problems to automakers. And we're not

427
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 8: only talking about here, we're talking about outside of our country.

428
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 8: Because nobody could do it, nobody wanted to do it,

429
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 8: and it was ridiculous very expensive. It put tremendous upward

430
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 8: pressure on car prices. Combined with the insane electric vehicle mandate,

431
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 8: Biden's burdened some regulations helped cause the price of cars

432
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 8: to start more than twenty five percent, and in one

433
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 8: case they went up eighteen percent in one year. Today

434
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 8: were taking one more step to kill the green news scam.

435
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 8: It's part of the greatest scam probably well other than Russia, Russia, Russia,

436
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 8: and a few others think a name the greatest scam

437
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 8: in American history, the green new scam. And it's a

438
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 8: question end the gasoline powered car. This is what they

439
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 8: wanted to do, even though we have more gasoline than

440
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 8: any other country by far, and people want the gasoline car.

441
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 8: They want everything, they want electric, they want they won't

442
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 8: half lots of alternatives, but they do want the gasoline car.

443
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 8: Right now, it's leading away by a lot. The car

444
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 8: business is a very interesting business, but we want to

445
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 8: keep it that way. I want to thank Transportation Secretary

446
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:51,080

00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 8: Lisa McClain, and Troy Balderson. All great people. These are

466
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 8: great people, and I know there's a lot of support

467
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 8: along beyond the people that are here.

468
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 7: We've got tremendous support of this.

469
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 8: From day one, I've been taking action to make buying

470
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 8: a car more affordable. I signed an execus of order

471
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 8: to end the unfair expensive electric Vehicle Mandate. As you know,

472
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 8: you had to have an electric car within a very

473
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 8: short period of time, even though there was no way

474
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 8: of charging them, and.

475
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 7: Lots of other things.

476
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 8: It would have cost five trillion dollars to build the

477
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 8: charging plants, and as you know, in certain parts of

478
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 8: the Midwest they spent to build nine chargers. They spent

479
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 8: eight billion dollars. So that wasn't working out too well.

480
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 8: That was done before me. By the way, I wouldn't

481
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 8: have let it go forward. We're canceling the EPA is observed.

482
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 8: Tailpipe emission standards one of the most important things that I've.

483
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 7: Never had a group of people come to me more.

484
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 8: More powerfully and really just devastated that they had to

485
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 8: do it.

486
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 7: It was killing them.

487
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 8: Then the automobile manufactures the tailpipe emission standards, and I

488
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 8: can tell you your people at Ford were coming to

489
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 8: me all the time and they were saying, like, please,

490
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 8: it doesn't do anything. It's killing us, and it's driving

491
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 8: the course through the roof. And we revoked Biden's emissions

492
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 8: waiver for California so that California communists could not regulate

493
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 8: the automobile industry and ruin the entire Nation of automobiles,

494
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 8: and they were doing that too, but we have that

495
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 8: now under control, also with your governor, who's got much

496
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 8: more than he can control.

497
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 7: Now.

498
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 8: Under the new rules being issued today by Secretary Duffy,

499
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 8: the Department of Transportation will rescind the Biden fuel economy prices.

500
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 8: And I hate to say that, because they were really

501
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 8: not economy. They were really they were anti economy. They

502
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 8: were horrible what they were doing to the costs and

503
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 8: actually making the car much worse. But these policies forced

504
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 8: automakers to build cars using expensive technologies that drove up costs,

505
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 8: drove up prices, and made the car much worse. The

506
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 8: action is expected to save the typical consumer at least

507
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 8: one thousand dollars off the price of a new car,

508
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 8: and we think substantially more than that. Under the Trump administration,

509
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 8: seventy billion dollars are now being invested in the American

510
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 8: auto industry. Ford has announced it will invest five billion

511
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 8: dollars across it's Kentucky and Michigan plants.

512
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 7: Is that a correct name, That's right. That's a lot

513
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 7: five billion. You can do.

514
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 8: More, creating at least four thousand new jobs. Stillant has

515
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 8: announced it will invest thirteen billion dollars to expand at

516
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 8: US based manufacturing by more than fifty percent and open

517
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 8: new manufacturing facilities across the country.

518
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 7: And I think a big part of that is also

519
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 7: the tariffs.

520
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 8: Because of tariffs, they're coming in not only the automobile

521
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 8: industry AI.

522
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 7: We're leading China, and.

523
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 8: AI were leading everybody in AI will leading everybody and everything.

524
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 7: We have the hottest country right now.

525
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 8: I will tell you a lot of political people behind me,

526
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 8: great political people, very successful political people.

527
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 7: The hottest country anywhere in the world.

528
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 8: One year ago we had a dead country and now

529
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 8: we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

530
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 7: And it started from.

531
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 8: November fifth, but it also started when we did the tariffs.

532
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 7: That We've had tremendous support on the tariffs.

533
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 8: It's bringing in trillions of dollars of wealth, it's bringing

534
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 8: in national security, and I've stopped eight wars, and of

535
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 8: the eight wars, five of them have been because of.

536
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 7: Tariffs and trades. So very important.

537
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 8: And General Motors plans to invest four billion dollars as

538
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 8: it brings its manufacturing back to the United States from

539
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 8: Mexico after falling by five percent under Biden. US auto

540
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 8: production has surged by ten percent so.

541
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 7: Far this year. You know, I won the auto workers vote.

542
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 8: But now even the head of the auto workers that

543
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 8: Trump is the greatest president we've ever seen, and happens

544
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 8: to be right about that. But we're protecting our auto

545
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 8: workers and we're making it easier for every family to

546
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 8: afford high quality cars. In other words, we're bringing automobiles

547
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 8: back and the manufacturing of automobiles back into this country.

548
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 8: We lost fifty two percent over the years, fifty two

549
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 8: percent of our automobile manufacture. You see it, closed factories

550
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 8: all over the place. Now they're role opening up, they're

551
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 8: being in most cases they're being knocked down, and new

552
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 8: ones are being built in their place. And big beneficiary

553
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 8: is the state of Michigan, but South Carolina, even states

554
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 8: that didn't really do too much with the automobiles, they're

555
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 8: opening up plants.

556
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 7: It's been amazing.

557
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 8: So between automobile plants, AI plants and plants of every

558
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 8: other nation, really every other type, including chips. We're going

559
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 8: to have a big percentage of the chip market very soon.

560
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 8: Not because of the Chips Act, which was horrible and ridiculous,

561
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 8: where we just gave these companies billions and billions of dollars.

562
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 8: They just kept the money. But because of what we

563
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 8: did with tariffs, they have to build here. Otherwise they're

564
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 8: gonna have to pay tariffs, they won't be able to

565
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 8: do business in the United States. And we are bringing

566
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 8: We're gonna have a big percentage of the chip industry.

567
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 8: As of about a year ago, two years ago, we

568
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 8: had none and now we're gonna have a very big

569
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 8: percentage when it all finishes out. So I'd like to

570
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 8: ask Secretary Duffy do speak, and then mister Farley, and

571
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 8: then Felosa and Erbatic and Kastrina, and.

572
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 7: Also we're gonna ask some of our political leaders.

573
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 8: To speak, because let me tell you, they went out

574
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 8: of their way. This was not easy. People were brainwashed.

575
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 8: This is a green new scam, and people were paying

576
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 8: too much for a car that didn't work as well.

577
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 8: And now they're gonna have a great car that's going

578
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 8: to be environmentally friendly, but it's gonna cost you a

579
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 8: lot less and it's gonna work great. All of the

580
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 8: nonsense is being taken out of the cars. So Secretary Duffy,

581
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 8: could you say thank you?

582
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 7: So yesterday at the Cabinet meeting.

583
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 9: The President was talking about affordability, and the way that

584
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 9: Democrats talk about affordability is a lie.

585
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 7: Today is a perfect example of that.

586
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 9: So these cafe standards used what was contrary to the

587
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 9: law of the Congress, that a rule that says you

588
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 9: have to look at combustion engines. Biden and Buddha Judge

589
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 9: actually did an analysis using ed Jedge. He Judge red

590
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 9: Jedge used EV and hybrids to come up with a

591
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 9: sixty two mile an hour pro gallon standard, which I

592
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 9: think the car companies will tell you is completely unattainable.

593
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 9: So they spent a lot of money on technology trying

594
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 9: to meet the unattainable standard, driving up the cost of

595
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 9: a car number one, and then number two. If they

596
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 9: couldn't meet the unattainable standard, they had to trade for carbon,

597
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 9: costing billions of dollars and again driving.

598
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 7: Up the price of the cars.

599
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 9: To President, what democrats were doing, we're not making cars

600
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 9: more affordable, They're making.

601
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 7: Them less affordable.

602
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 9: The consequence of that is going to be that more

603
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 9: Americans can afford to buy a new car, which means

604
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 9: they're going to be saved on the roads because of

605
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 9: all the great new technology we have that save lives,

606
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 9: so we'll have less death on American roads. These rules

607
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 9: are going to allow the automakers to make vehicles that

608
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 9: Americans want to purchase, not vehicles that Joe Biden and

609
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 9: Bootage at Judge wants to bill, which is important. But

610
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 9: also this is important for American jobs. The more cars

611
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 9: we sell, the more jobs we have in this country.

612
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 9: And so this is jobs, this is freedom, and this

613
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 9: is common sense, mister President, So thank you for your leadership.

614
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 9: And I appreciate what the Senate did with a big

615
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 9: beautiful bill and what we've done here today.

616
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 8: So thank youks much. Big beautiful bill is something. It's amazing.

617
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 8: Way will people see the benefits and the lower taxes

618
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 8: that they're going to have lower regulations.

619
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 10: So how about Ford, mister President and Secretary, all the

620
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 10: important lawmakers here, competitors, Today's a victory of common sense

621
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 10: and affordability.

622
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 11: We're very proud of Ford to be the number one

623
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 11: auto producer in our country. Eighty five eighty percent of

624
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 11: the vehicles we sell here we make in our country

625
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 11: right and we never left unlike many of our competitors.

626
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 11: We're the number one exporter and we have the most factory,

627
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 11: auto factory workers, and this cafe standard that is aligned

628
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 11: with customer demand is the right move for a lot

629
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 11: of reasons. We were number two.

630
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 12: Last year in eb sales, we were number three in hybrid,

631
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 12: and we're the leading brand for combustion. We believe that

632
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 12: people should be able to make a choice, as you said,

633
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 12: mister President, and we will invest more in affordable vehicles.

634
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 11: This allows us to invest.

635
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 12: In affordable vehicles made in the US, which we will

636
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 12: take the lead on and will allow us to make

637
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 12: the vehicles more affordable.

638
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 11: So thank you for making this step for all of you.

639
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 7: Thank you very much.

640
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 8: One of the other things we're doing is separate from

641
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 8: this meeting, but I think everybody who would agree with it.

642
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 8: If you go to Japan, where I just left, and

643
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 8: if you go to South Korea and Malaysia and other countries, they.

644
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 7: Have a very small car I sort of like the

645
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 7: Beatle used to be with the Volkswagen.

646
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 8: They're very small, they're really cute, and I said, how

647
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 8: would that do in this country? And everyone seems to

648
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 8: think good, but you're not allowed to build them. And

649
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 8: I've authorized as Secretary to immediately approve the production of

650
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 8: those cars. So you'll be able to buy they really are.

651
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 8: They're actually some of them are really beautiful. Actually, if

652
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 8: you take a look Honda, some of the Japanese companies

653
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 8: to a beautiful job.

654
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 7: But we're not allowed to make them in this country.

655
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 7: And I think you're going to do very well with

656
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 7: those cars. So we're going to approve those cars. Would

657
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 7: you like to say something about.

658
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 9: That, Well, just that he never stopped working, so even

659
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 9: when he's on Asian time, he's calling me at midnight

660
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 9: in the States. But he gave me the directive to

661
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 9: clear the regulations on this, to which we have. And

662
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 9: so if Toyota or any other company wants to make smaller,

663
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 9: more affordable cars fuel efficient, we have cleared the decks

664
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 9: so they can make them in America and sell them

665
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 9: in America.

666
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 8: They're really nice and less expensive, and it really gives

667
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 8: people the chance to have a car, you know, have

668
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 8: a brand new car as opposed to a car that

669
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 8: maybe isn't so great. And so your car companies start

670
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 8: thinking about it.

671
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a tremendous market. Please

672
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 7: with let you say something, thank you, mister President.

673
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 13: It's it's a great day for us at Tellantis today

674
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 13: because it's day where we see cafete regulation reconcile with

675
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 13: real customers demand. That's why Stellants we decided to invest

676
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 13: to Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler thirteen billion dollars in

677
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 13: the next four years, increasing production by fifty percent. They'releaving

678
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 13: it to the market five new vehicles and creating five

679
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 13: thousand additional jobs. That's because we believe in what you Segata,

680
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 13: Daffy and all your team is doing in this country.

681
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 13: We believe in growth. They were ready to invest even

682
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 13: more so. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

683
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 13: All these great news of the key car. We try

684
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 13: to be infested the intel and we have a maybe

685
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 13: looking forward to the world with secretary team in the

686
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 13: future for the next thingt Thank.

687
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: You very much.

688
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 8: We'll get ready for those guys, because we've will already

689
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 8: cleared the way you can start right away.

690
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: We will.

691
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

692
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 7: Thank you very much.

693
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: Please, mister President, thank you so much for having me.

694
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 7: Very much.

695
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 14: We support your leadership for this issue that is so

696
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 14: important to the auto industry. I'm here representing the hard

697
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 14: working men and women of Wily And Assembly in Michigan.

698
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 7: The facility or manufacturing facility.

699
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 14: There is currently going through a retool so that we

700
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 14: can build additional US manufactured pickup trucks and full size

701
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 14: sport utilities for our customers.

702
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: And we're so excited about.

703
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: That, and thank you for your support.

704
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 7: Secretary Duff you thank you as well.

705
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 8: And this is largely coming in because of the tariff

706
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 8: situation we have. We're taking in trillions of dollars actually trillions,

707
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 8: and we have so many other advantages. But these great

708
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 8: companies that come coming back to the United States, they

709
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 8: left the United States. If somebody was sitting behind this

710
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 8: desk and knew what they were doing, that wouldn't have happened.

711
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 8: They would have said, well, you can send your car here,

712
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 8: but we're going to put one hundred percent tariff, and

713
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 8: you would have never had the auto industry leave again.

714
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 8: We lost more than fifty percent of our auto industry

715
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 8: and now it's all coming back, and I think it's

716
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 8: coming back. Ultimately it's going to be bigger. I believe

717
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 8: it's going to be bigger than it was before. Actually.

718
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 8: But it's an honor to have you here, and please

719
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 8: would you look to say express thank.

720
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 7: You very much.

721
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 15: The Tom castres are on the chairman of National Automobile

722
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 15: Dealers present eighteen thousand dealers in the country along with

723
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 15: three thousand.

724
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 7: Heavy duty truck dealers.

725
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 15: And what the actions that you've done as the president

726
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 15: and your administration is definitely going to save our customers money.

727
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 15: And you made your promises that let the consumer buy

728
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 15: what they want, sir, and you deliver on that. And

729
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 15: the other thing that you delivered was your promise in

730
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 15: the Big Beautiful Bill the tax deduction on loans that

731
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 15: had gone away some years back, and now that makes

732
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 15: it go affordable for our buyers that can save money

733
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 15: through that loan of the tax anywhere from several hundred

734
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 15: to several thousands. So again, sir, on behalf of all

735
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 15: the dealers and our customers. We appreciate what you and

736
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 15: your administrat have done, and of course our legislative support

737
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 15: as well.

738
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 7: Mister President. Thank you. That's very nice and I'm glad

739
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 7: you brought that up.

740
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 8: We're allowing people to deduct so if you go out

741
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 8: and buy a car, and this is for middle income,

742
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 8: but for lower income no matter what, they never really

743
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 8: had deductions. General rich people like deductions, but middle income

744
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 8: people were never really afforded deductions, which is very unfair.

745
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 8: You borrow money to buy a car, you're allowed to

746
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 8: deduct the interest from your income tax. And I think

747
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 8: that's going to be one of the most in terms

748
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 8: of your industry. I think it's going to be the

749
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 8: biggest thing that we're talking about, maybe even bigger than

750
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 8: cafe standards. People are going to be able to borrow

751
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 8: money deducted, so it's going to cost them essentially half and.

752
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 7: They'll be little help sir. It's going to be a

753
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 7: tremendous factory. They've never had a chance to do that before.

754
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 7: And that's all done.

755
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 8: That's all in the great, big, beautiful bill, so it's

756
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 8: really terrific. I'd like to ask a couple of our

757
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 8: political leaders to say, because you guys have done an

758
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 8: amazing judge. This was something that was going to be

759
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 8: very tough. We had to fight lunatics to get it done,

760
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 8: and they had no answers. You know, it's it's you

761
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 8: just present them with the facts and they just say, well,

762
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 8: we're just.

763
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 7: Not going to vote for it. They couldn't talk about it,

764
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 7: but they didn't want to vote.

765
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 8: I see Mike Kelly, my friend back there, has been

766
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 8: with me from day one.

767
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 7: What do you have to say? I'm like, well, you

768
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 7: know what, I think you get the key. Everybody's talking

769
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 7: with the same thing, the way they like each other.

770
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 16: There's no hatred between these guys as why as I

771
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 16: beat his price. The American people always been able to

772
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 16: choose what they want to buy. They don't want to

773
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 16: be taken out of a market by people who quite frankly,

774
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 16: don't even drive.

775
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 7: The vrow car.

776
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 16: It's saying this is the way you've got to go

777
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 16: going into the future to say, well, you may say that,

778
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 16: but you're not in the market. You have no idea

779
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 16: and I know the business words. At the end of

780
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 16: the day, if you were there with me on sales

781
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 16: that mister presidents, other than price, what's keeping you from

782
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 16: taking the car home today? It's always price and the

783
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 16: fact that we can build a car that's a portable

784
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 16: that people want to buy. That's the key to what

785
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 16: you've done is unlocked. The most ridiculous statute that.

786
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 2: Ever came in with Cafe.

787
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 16: It wasn't done by the Congress, and it wasn't It

788
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 16: was done by President Obama after the courts failed on it.

789
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 2: So thank you for doing what you're doing.

790
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 16: You're making America great again in every single way.

791
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: Thank thank you.

792
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 7: It's gonna be so big for the or manufacturers. People

793
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 7: aren't even going to believe the impact. That says. You know,

794
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 7: my key is to come to my rallies all the time.

795
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 7: And we'd have a rally. It was like zero degrees

796
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 7: was freezing, and he'd sit there without a shirt on.

797
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 7: And I didn't need that. I didn't say it was

798
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 7: pretty people sit there that go that. He didn't mind

799
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 7: it at all. I said, that's one.

800
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 17: You lit it up.

801
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: We didn't need anything.

802
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 7: We had a good time. We had a lot of

803
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 7: great rallies. We did Pennsylvania. Please, mister Congressman, thank you,

804
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 7: mister President.

805
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 18: What I represent the dealer bomb. I'm a I'm a dealer,

806
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 18: and we got some other dealers in here. But this

807
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 18: is huge for the dealer body, the local car dealer.

808
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 18: We're going to be able to sell what the customer wants.

809
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 18: The manufacturer's going to make what the customer wants. We've

810
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 18: got all kinds of options to the big bill. It's

811
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 18: gonna enable people. As we talked about deduct payments and

812
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 18: so forth. As we say in the business had never

813
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 18: been cheaper than the R today, mister President, and it's

814
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 18: going to be a great opportunity for the dealer body

815
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 18: to sell what consumers want. And ninety nine percent of

816
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 18: the businesses in America are small businesses.

817
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: Many are car.

818
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: Dealers, employ a lot of people.

819
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great year for us.

820
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 18: We appreciate your leadership, and we appreciate man from a

821
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 18: retail standpoint. We appreciate the manufacturers going to step up

822
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 18: and Bill carrs that customers want and that we want

823
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 18: to sell.

824
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: So thank you very much.

825
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: Makes it a great country.

826
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 8: He's also a very brave congressman because he was there

827
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 8: on the baseball field that horrible day with Steve Scalis

828
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 8: and some other people.

829
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 7: He was hit, but he took it very well. He

830
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 7: took it very well, you might belle. Thank you nice

831
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 7: great job.

832
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.

833
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 7: Great job. Appreciate it.

834
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 8: Kevin, could you say a few words a wisdom one

835
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 8: of the really smart economic forecasts. I will tell you

836
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 8: beyond an economist, he's a real forecast.

837
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 17: Then, Lis Sir, I think that there's a massive macroeconomic

838
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 17: benefit to what we're doing today, and the way to

839
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 17: think about it is that the car that has the

840
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 17: best gas mileage that you could buy, that has all

841
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 17: the gasoline is a Honda that guts about thirty six

842
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 17: miles per gallon. Joe Biden wanted to make every car

843
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 17: on average be above fifty. So there's no car made

844
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 17: in the US that you would be able to sell

845
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 17: two years from now, three years from now under that rule,

846
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 17: because what he wanted to do is make everybody have.

847
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: An electric car, as you know.

848
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 17: But here's the thing that if everybody had an electric car,

849
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 17: then nobody would be buying gasoline anymore, and they'd have

850
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 17: to take all all the miles that they travel and

851
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 17: put it on the grid. And so we would have

852
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 17: to increase the production of electricity in the US by

853
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 17: twenty five percent over the next couple of years if

854
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 17: they had their way. And so you've really stopped a

855
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 17: massive disruption for the ecboy with.

856
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: This, So thank you, sir.

857
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 7: And that wasn't the main reason, and yet it certainly

858
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 7: is a main reason. You wouldn't have been able to

859
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 7: do it even if you wanted. It's just so crazy

860
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 7: that was the mandate which we ended. Troy, would you

861
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 7: like to say something great honor.

862
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: Thank you.

863
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 19: My family is a former dealer forty eight years Chrysler

864
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 19: Dodge dealer. And then I got into the political world, sir.

865
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 19: I had more fun in the dealership.

866
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: World, but I miss it. I miss it, but I.

867
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 19: Still play a big role in autobiles and grateful. I

868
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 19: remember under President Bamba when the cafe standards.

869
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 7: Changes Mike brought up and going.

870
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 19: Through those challenging times at a Chrysler dealer before Stlantis

871
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 19: came along.

872
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 7: It was diner before you guys got it. So thank

873
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 7: you very much for being here and making these changes.

874
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 19: And as you said, that interest on the Carlin piece

875
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 19: was big, and I know that Bernie led the charge

876
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 19: on that on the set and get into one big

877
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 19: beautiful bill that really is a big deal, and people

878
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 19: need to understand how big a.

879
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: Deal that is.

880
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 4: Great.

881
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 7: I remember, by the way, we had a great victory

882
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 7: last night. We'll do all that. I like our race

883
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 7: and he's.

884
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 8: Going to be a great congressman. I think really like us, right,

885
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 8: like one of my early endorsements.

886
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 7: Right, can we talk about it right here? Man, come in,

887
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 7: let me say I love you. Please go ahead.

888
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 20: I think thank you, mister President for your leadership with

889
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 20: the thing I've admired most. You've been in business, You've

890
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 20: been in the battles over the years, and you're helping

891
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 20: us lead us out. Most people that are up here

892
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 20: have no idea about business or small business.

893
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 7: It makes a big difference.

894
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 20: And one is Number two is I would just say

895
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 20: in terms of the tax stuff we're talking about, one

896
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 20: of the things that get missed, and I'm in Florida

897
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 20: Sarasota region, is the ability to deduct. Most people have

898
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 20: a small business, to have a law business, they have

899
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 20: this that they buy a new or used truck, they

900
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 20: can take that deduction. Let's say they're a twenty two

901
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 20: percent tax bracket, but the vehicle's sixty grand, they can

902
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 20: take twenty percent of sixty grand, get a twelve thousand

903
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 20: dollars right off. They can pay their payments for the

904
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 20: first year. That's a powerful tool. We don't talk about.

905
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 20: I don't know why, but at the end of the day,

906
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 20: because of what you've put in place full expensing, that's

907
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 20: the tool.

908
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 7: That you would use.

909
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 20: And you could just think about all the people in

910
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 20: Florida just general places. They're buying old Vans or new

911
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 20: Vans or buying trucks, mainly trucks, and they're getting a deduction.

912
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 7: They don't even have a payment for a year.

913
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 8: So I have one of the best things for one

914
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 8: of the biggest things.

915
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 20: In one of the expensing is a powerful tool. They

916
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 20: can write the whole asset off the first year, take

917
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 20: that deduction, put twelve thousand in their pocket on a

918
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 20: twenty thousand.

919
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 7: Well, let me mention one other things.

920
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 20: They got into the E vehicles, electric cars, and I'm

921
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 20: talking to dealers that come in and come in and

922
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 20: talk to me, and basically they couldn't sell one, they

923
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 20: couldn't give one away. And when these companies or they

924
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 20: got in because of whatever political pressure, are buying administration

925
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 20: and they end up realizing that they got no market.

926
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 20: A guy says, the car's been sitting there a year.

927
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 20: I can't get rid of it. So they don't understand

928
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 20: the market. The people produce the vehicles. And that's made

929
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 20: a big difference in your leadership. But thanks for what

930
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 20: you're doing here today.

931
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 7: It's big, it's huge. It'll make a big difference.

932
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 20: Twelve thousand dollars on a sixty thousand dollars vehicle upfront

933
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 20: day one.

934
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 7: Thank you, thank you very much.

935
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, we're just talking about something that's interesting

936
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 8: Ford would make. And I don't want to speak from

937
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 8: FOD because we have one of the top people right

938
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 8: after press.

939
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 21: Is fine if the Ford would make numerous electric cars

940
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 21: in order to sell one Ford one fifty, because they'd

941
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 21: make all that money the one fifty, Yes, and they

942
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 21: were willing to lose money on building two or three

943
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 21: electric cars that they couldn't sell in order to make

944
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 21: some money on the one fifty.

945
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 7: Because the one fifty is a monster. I'll tell you

946
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 7: what that No.

947
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 8: Matter where you go, they love that Ford one fifty.

948
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 8: But isn't it a ridiculous model when you have to

949
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 8: build two or three cars that you know you're not

950
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 8: going to be selling or not be selling for much

951
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 8: in order to really do something that you should have.

952
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 7: The right to do, which is make a car that

953
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 7: you want to make.

954
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 8: Yes, and that the market once, So congratulations on the

955
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 8: one fifty.

956
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: Thank you.

957
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 11: That's selling vehicle in the Ice States now built in

958
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 11: the IEL Now it's only going to do it now,

959
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 11: but it really is.

960
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 8: It's an amazing brand.

961
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 7: What would you like to say?

962
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 22: Yeah, I thank you, mister president and Secretary Duffy and

963
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 22: all of us. You know, one of the last times

964
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 22: I was here is when you signed the Electric Vehicle

965
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 22: uh CRA Congressional Review acted. All of the participated in

966
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 22: the beginning of really making common sense because it was

967
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 22: going to impact seventeen other states and really a large

968
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 22: part of our economy. This is about affordability. Here, I'm

969
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 22: just going to say one thing. Well maybe I already

970
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 22: said one thing, so now I'm gonna send to you

971
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 22: that when we talk about a car and auto, we

972
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 22: sort of talk about just oh, we need a car.

973
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 22: Do you know what a car does for a family.

974
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 22: You can take your children to school, you can go

975
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 22: to the store, you can visit your mother, you can

976
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 22: go to church, you can have a job, you have

977
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 22: the flexibility that you need. A car for an American

978
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 22: family is about a.

979
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 7: Roadway to prosperity.

980
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 22: It's a big deal. And so by making them more affordable,

981
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 22: making them more choice, driven by what families want and need,

982
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 22: today is a great day for the American family.

983
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 23: Thank you and American worker say well, thank you, mister

984
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 23: President and Secretary Duffy, and to my colleagues that are

985
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 23: here in Tennessee. We make great automobiles and we have

986
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 23: a fantastic workforce. And whether your GM are forward with

987
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 23: their new investment in Tennessee, are Nissan or VW or Toyota.

988
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 23: With the engine plant, what you see is the components

989
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 23: that are necessary to build these cars, and removing these

990
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 23: standards and making cars more affordable does mean that more

991
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 23: people will purchase them, but it also means we're going

992
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 23: to have to make more cars to meet that demand.

993
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 23: And for Tennessee, that is a great thing.

994
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 8: So you know, I'm just sitting here and I'm thinking, like,

995
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 8: we have the biggest portal manufacturers in the world. They're

996
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 8: talking about investing billions and they're investing it as we speak,

997
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 8: but billions and billions of dollars in our.

998
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 7: Country, thank you very much, And they're here. They're not like, well,

999
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 7: maybe we'll do it.

1000
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 8: They're doing it because of tariffs, and they're doing it

1001
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 8: because of maybe they like the President, and.

1002
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 7: We're doing things like this for them, which.

1003
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 8: Frankly, no matter who you are, this should be done.

1004
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 7: And we're doing things like deductibility of interest.

1005
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 8: When you borrow money to buy a car, you're allowed

1006
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 8: to deduct it from your income tax. That is a

1007
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 8: massive tax cut for people that are probably going to

1008
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 8: be trying to buy that car anyway.

1009
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 7: And I really think.

1010
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 8: That that interest factor is going to be one of

1011
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 8: the biggest things.

1012
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 7: I was proud of that because I thought of it,

1013
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 7: and it seems so simple.

1014
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 8: Other people are allowed big interest if you're a rich person,

1015
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 8: you're allowed to have big interest deductions for different things

1016
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 8: you do. But if you're a middle income person has

1017
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 8: to buy a car, you would never entitled to anything,

1018
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 8: and now you're getting a full interest deduction on the loan.

1019
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 7: And I think that's going to have one of the

1020
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 7: biggest impacts.

1021
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 8: But we're here with companies that are investing tens of

1022
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 8: billions of dollars in our country as we speak.

1023
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 7: It's not going to be in two years or three years.

1024
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 8: A lot of it's because of the expensing provision in

1025
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 8: the bill and the big beautiful bill. But a miracle

1026
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 8: is happening in our country. It's a miracle. This is

1027
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 8: just the auto industry, but we have other industries where

1028
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 8: it's the same thing.

1029
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 7: They're building all.

1030
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 8: Over our country and something this is a revolution is happening.

1031
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 8: It's a business revolution, it's a job's revolution, it's a

1032
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 8: car revolution. We're bringing back the car industry that was

1033
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 8: stolen from us because we have people that didn't know

1034
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 8: what they were doing sitting at this desk, and they

1035
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 8: put the wrong people in because they weren't advised properly.

1036
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 8: And this is really an incredible thing that's happening.

1037
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Well, thank you, mister President.

1038
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 24: And I think in many respects, pretty much everything that

1039
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 24: could be said has been, except that I think what

1040
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 24: Kevin talks about in terms of the cascading economic comportunity

1041
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 24: from this one single event is just the tip of

1042
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 24: the iceberg. When you think of all the rules and

1043
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 24: regulations that you have repealed, I think it's more important, frankly,

1044
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 24: than the tax cuts. However, in the Working Working Valley

1045
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 24: Tax Cuts Act. Remember, we made permanent a lot of

1046
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 24: really good policy from the first Trump era, not the

1047
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 24: least of which for small businesses is the bonus appreciation,

1048
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 24: the opportunity to depreciate the year that you purchased an

1049
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 24: f one to fifty four year small business or or

1050
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 24: a large truck for you for your farm. I just

1051
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 24: think we're we're gonna roll into twenty twenty six and

1052
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 24: we're gonna see an escalation of economic opportunity, the likes

1053
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:34,959
Speaker 24: of which you I probably have never seen.

1054
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 8: I think nobody has ever seen it, nobody in the world,

1055
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 8: because there's never been.

1056
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 7: Eighteen or whatever it ends up being. In ten months,

1057
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 7: we have eighteen trillion dollars being visited.

1058
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 8: We never had one trillion dollar being invested, and Biden

1059
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 8: had much less than that.

1060
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 7: Think of it. He had less than a trillion over

1061
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 7: four years.

1062
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 8: We have eighteen trillion in ten months, and it's actually

1063
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 8: as a nine months, So there's never been a thing.

1064
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 25: Eric this president, thank you, and on behalf of the

1065
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 25: people of the great state of Missouri who we actually

1066
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 25: make things from F fifteen's to F forty sevens. Now,

1067
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 25: thanks to you, we'll be building the F forty seven

1068
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 25: and then F one fifties, and those are real jobs,

1069
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 25: and we make things in Missouri. This is going to

1070
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 25: go a long way, I think for making things more

1071
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 25: affordable for normal people. Nothing could be more American than

1072
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 25: driving a car on a highway, and this is going

1073
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 25: to make that more accessible for people. So thanks for leadership. Yeah,

1074
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 25: they love you too.

1075
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 7: Great. Please thank you, please, thank you.

1076
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: Miss President.

1077
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 7: I'm gonna talk to you just a minute.

1078
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 3: From a rules perspective, because these cafe standards were absolutely unworkable.

1079
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 7: In rural Missouri. We need vehicles that are practical.

1080
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: And affordable, and it can hall for small businesses, for agriculture,

1081
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 3: and it just simply didn't work. Those cafe standards didn't work,

1082
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 3: So I applauded you on Secretary of DUFFI
